The symptoms were that the host type was being misread as kfreebsd/gnu suggesting I had some Debian/FreeBSD frankenhost, and shared libraries would fail to build on most ports. With some research from Pav Lucistnik , a rogue file -- /usr/include/features.h -- was discovered and removed. It's dated Nov 21, 2001, and is claimed by no package so I have no idea how it got there. But as far as I can tell, that was the culprit. I will add this info to the PR as well. -- Paul Beard paulbeard [at] mac.com --Apple-Mail-22-863041270--
